Took the Echo Sportivo to Wakefield Park for my first race track experience. It was awesome. I was going pretty slowly because I didn't know the track or the limits of the car, and I've never raced before. I spun out once attempting "trail braking", not a good idea as it turns out. The Echo seems to oversteer like crazy if you lift off or break during even the slightest bend. I also went off the track twice in the same place by trying to brake very late. Actually, it was two consecutive laps and the second time it was identical... but much faster, lol! Got up around 140kph at the end of the straight (it's not a very long straight), and generally had a really great time.

And the exhaust I opened up for the track:
